Dance Your PhD - Jolene Chang 2009 Name: Jolene Chang Graduate student Expected graduation date: 2011 My PhD dissertation is on the subject of synaptogenesis, studying the molecular cues involved in synapse formation and differentiation that is essential for the developing nervous system. Specifically, our lab studies agrin, a heparan sulfate proteoglycan that has been widely studied for its synaptogenic effects, especially at the neuromuscular junction. My project studies agrin's function in synaptogenesis in the peripheral nervous system. In this dance, I represent a motile growth cone, an immature neuron searching for its postsynaptic partner to form a synapse. It starts out as a slow awakening, as the growth cone explores its environment. As a growth cone responds to guidance cues in its environment, the growth cone in the video responds to the music with an ebb and flow that reflects the stochastic movement of a growth cone's exploratory path. The *** colored leotard represents the yet-to-be myelinated neuron, decorated with open circles to depict synaptic vesicles characteristic of a presynaptic neuron. The other dancers represent other neurons that serve as possible postsynaptic targets. The growth cone interacts with each target by dancing with them briefly before turning away as the search for the "correct" postsynaptic target continues. The last postsynaptic target is dressed in complementary colors as the growth cone to symbolize complementary molecular cues that direct the final steps of ...

Synapse Check us out at In the nervous system, a synapse is a structure that permits a neuron to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another cell. The word "synapse" comes from "synaptein", which Sir Charles Scott Sherrington and colleagues coined from the Greek "syn-" ("together") and "haptein" ("to clasp"). Synapses are essential to neuronal function: neurons are cells that are specialized to pass signals to individual target cells, and synapses are the means by which they do so. At a synapse, the plasma membrane of the signal-passing neuron (the presynaptic neuron) comes into close apposition with the membrane of the target (postsynaptic) cell. Both the presynaptic and postsynaptic sites contain extensive arrays of molecular machinery that link the two membranes together and carry out the signaling process. In many synapses, the presynaptic part is located on an axon, but some presynaptic sites are located on a dendrite or soma. There are two fundamentally different types of synapse: •In a chemical synapse, the presynaptic neuron releases a chemical called a neurotransmitter that binds to receptors located in the postsynaptic cell, usually embedded in the plasma membrane. Binding of the neurotransmitter to a receptor can affect the postsynaptic cell in a wide variety of ways. •In an electrical synapse, the presynaptic and postsynaptic cell membranes are connected by channels that are capable of passing electrical current, causing voltage changes in the ...

Overcome Depression Naturally: Biological Cause 5-HTP is a naturally derived amino acid that has been shown in comprehensive studies to be safer than prescription drugs for the treatment of insomnia and depression, and can also be used for treating obesity, migraine headaches, fibromyalgia, and premenstrual syndrome. It may prove to be more popular than St. John's wort for the treatment of depression and other serotonin-related conditions, as it's been shown to produce results in as little as two weeks, while the herb may take a month or longer. Author Michael Murray, ND, a leading naturopath and coauthor of The Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, delves very deeply to explain the hows and whys of depression at the neurotransmitter level, and the illustrations of presynaptic membranes may be a bit much for the lay reader. There are also several sections with intimidating titles along the lines of "Enhancing 5-HTP with Catecholamine Precursors." But the book's comprehensiveness makes up for its occasional denseness. Murray includes enlightening sections on nutrition for peak serotonin synthesis, other complementary herbal supplements, and many online and physical sources for obtaining 5-HTP. --Erica Jorgensen --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. From Library Journal Murray (Encyclopedia of Nutritional Supplements, Prima, 1996) believes that the symptoms of depression, obesity, headaches, insomnia, anxiety, hyperactivity, premenstrual syndrome, chronic fatigue ...

Presynaptic Nerve Terminal with Excytosis This video shows a simulation of excytosis, where vesicles fuse with the cell membrane in a presynaptic terminal of a nerve cell. Excytosis is modeled as a vesicle (green) exiting from the spherical compartment at the active zone at the bottom. Three vesicles fuse during the first action potential, which starts at 0:10. One fuses during the second action potential (0:20), and another during the third (0:30).

synapse pain modulation A synapse in the trigeminal subnucleus. Red (afferent presynaptic primary) axon releases glutamate which activates AMPA receptor. AMPA in turn triggers expression of NMDA receptor which causes further expression of more AMPA. This results in more glutamate being released. GABA/glycine appears as a cloud from the blue "Off" interneuron. Increased GABA/glycine blocks glutamate from binding to AMPA and NMDA. Microglia release cytokines when activated.

Dopamine and antipsychotic drug action revisited HM JONES, MRCPsych and LS PILOWSKY, MRCPsych Institute of Psychiatry, London, UK A reasonable goal for effective, less-toxic treatment of schizophrenia is the regionally sensitive stabilisation of dopamine function, and not the blunderbuss dopaminergic paralysis induced by classical antipsychotic drugs.

Such ideas are certainly relevant to current therapeutics and future drug development. Novel agents with specific action at presynaptic D3 autoreceptors controlling central dopamine release may offer more physiological modulation of dopamine than conventional antagonists (Reavill et al, 2000; Strange, 2001).

Presynaptic Nerve Terminal with Deformable Membrane This video shows a simulation of a presynaptic nerve terminal with a deformable membrane. Although the particles in the membrane do not individually represent real-world objects, they collectively model the shape and dynamics of a nerve cell membrane. At 0:40, an action potential arrives and disrupts the clusters of vesicles (green) and synapsins (blue). Vesicles dock at sites in the active zone (red). More information on tethered particle system models like this one can be found at www.sce.carleton.ca/~rhys.

Presynaptic Nerve Terminal Simulation In this simulated presynaptic terminal of a nerve cell, synaptic vesicles (green) bind with synapsins (blue) to form clusters. Docking sites (red) fix vesicles to the active zone at the bottom of the membrane, eventually attracting a large cluster. Action potentials occur at 0:55, 1:15, and 1:35, causing vesicles to fuse with the membrane (shown as vesicles escaping the compartment). Many synapsins separate from the vesicles during the action potentials, but the cluster remains intact. More information on tethered particle system models like this one can be found at www.sce.carleton.ca/~rhys.

Label The Parts Of Nerve Cell Check us out at Despite the specific molecular, morphological, and functional features of any particular nerve cell type, the basic structure of neurons resembles that of other cells. Thus, each nerve cell has a cell body containing a nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, and other organelles that are essential to the function of all cells). These features are best recognized using the high magnification and resolution afforded by the electron microscope. The distinguishing characteristic of nerve cells is their specialization for intercellular communication. This attribute is apparent in their overall morphology, in the specialization of their membranes for electrical signaling, and in the structural and functional intricacies of the synaptic contacts between them. A particularly salient morphological feature of most nerve cells is the elaborate arborization of the dendrites (also called dendritic branches or dendritic processes) that arise from the neuronal cell body. The spectrum of neuronal geometries ranges from a small minority of cells that lack dendrites altogether to neurons with dendritic arborizations that rival the complexity of a mature tree . The number of inputs that a particular neuron receives depends on the complexity of its dendritic arbor: Nerve cells that lack dendrites are innervated by just one or a few other nerve cells, whereas those with increasingly elaborate dendrites are innervated by a ...

Anatomy of a Neuron This video discusses the basic features of neurons and how they communicate with one another.

Vesicle Cluster Formation and Disruption In this simulation, synaptic vesicles (green) are initially scattered inside a presynaptic compartment. Over time, clusters form as vesicles bind with synapsin protein (blue). Docking sites (red) fix vesicles to the active zone at the bottom of the membrane, eventually attracting a large cluster. An action potential occurs at 1:30, causing vesicles to fuse with the membrane (shown as vesicles escaping the compartment). The same action potential is shown at 2:00 from a different angle. Synapsins can be seen separating from the vesicles, which disrupts the cluster. More information can be found at www.sce.carleton.ca/~rhys.

The Mechanism of Prozac - HD • Prozac is an antidepressant of the SSRI, or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor class. Typical of SSRIs, Prozac increases the level of usable serotonin in the brain. High levels of Serotonin are correlated with good moods, as serotonin is largely responsible for mood regulation. But sometimes, moods can suffer if serotonin levels are too low. This animation shows how Prozac inhibits the reuptake of serotonin, thus yielding more usable serotonin for receptor binding. • Prozac's active mechanism is found within Neurons, our brains' cells. Neurotransmitters, like Serotonin, are the chemicals that make communication between theses cells possible. This communication takes place in the spaces between neurons known as Synapses. • This scene shows a presynaptic neuron on top, a postsynaptic neuron below, and the gap of synaptic space in between. The three proteins essential to serotonin's mechanism our shown in yellow, while the neurons' other proteins are rendered less prominently. • In its uninhabited mechanism, Serotonin moves circuitously from the presynaptic vesicle to the postsynaptic receptor protein where it temporarily binds. • Excess serotonin is either deactivated at the synapse by metabolizing enyzems such as monamine oxidase, or retaken back through the serotonin transporter reuptake protein as highlighted here. • Here is a detailed view of the membrane bound serotonin transporter protein based on a 2008 article in Science. As you can see, this transport ...
